Asked by: Lord Lisvane (Crossbench - Life peer)
Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether, in the introduction to the latest edition of the Ministerial Code, they will amend the Prime Minister's reference to "my Ministers" to "Her Majesty's Ministers".
Answered by Lord True - Leader of the House of Lords and Lord Privy Seal
It is customary for the foreword of the Ministerial Code to be refreshed when the Code is re-issued from time to time. The current Ministerial Code was issued only recently on 27 May 2022. As such, there are no plans for a further update.
The code begins in section one with an appropriate reference to Ministers of the Crown and continues in that style.

Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many of the measures announced in the Queen's Speech will be published in draft and subject to pre-legislative scrutiny.
Answered by Baroness Evans of Bowes Park
The Government is committed to facilitating pre-legislative scrutiny when it is possible to do so. In the last session five draft Bills or packages of draft legislation were published. Announcements will be made in due course about draft legislation to be published in the current session.
